Recently my personal YouTube channel hit 10,000 subscribers for no real reason. I hardly ever upload anything there. What I have put up is just odds-and-ends from various reporting trips that don’t fit anywhere else. Hitting the 10k felt like a push to do something with the channel though. I’m already juggling plates with my various documentary, podcast, and freelance projects, so I wanted to do something interesting that’s relatively low cost and low maintenance.
So I came up with Hanrahan Live. It's basically just a talk show where I chat with people that I find interesting. Outsiders all from a similarly unusual orbit as my own. Everyone and their dog is doing this format now, so I thought fuck it, why not have a go myself?
These are extensive, unfiltered interviews with everyone from independent clandestine investigators to underground bareknuckle fighters. I hope you like it. If it does well I’ll keep at it. If it doesn’t, at least it was fun to produce.
